*AutoCAD* is the industry software that sets the standard in CAD design.
AutoCAD is a complete program for *designing buildings, objects and just
about anything else that requires precision* in 2D or 3D. This makes it very
complex for beginners although there is extensive documentation and a series
of tutorials to get you started. Also bear in mind that AutoCAD system
requirements charge a high cost on your computer. AutoCAD is suitable for
both *2D and 3D* drawing and is *incredibly versatile*, allowing you to
customize almost every aspect of the design process. The intuitive interface
has been much improved in recent years and now makes it much easier to
identify the different functions available. You can create and edit DWG files
quickly and, now that AutoCAD is available on Mac, work across platforms too.
One thing that catches some users out is that you have to be careful when
updating designs and plans because if you make a change in a design, AutoCAD
does not automatically update related files. So, if you change a detail in
the section of a building, you must also remember to manually change the
plan. The biggest barrier for many people however will be the cost. AutoCAD
is one of the most expensive pieces of software you will ever purchase, but
the complexity and power of it will more than justify the cost for most
professionals. *If you're looking for the best in CAD software, then look no
further than AutoCAD.*Download *AutoCAD 2013* in Softonic
